Permits
Rushmere Country Park
Car parking facilities are provided in Rushmere (road entrances off Linslade Road and Brickhill Road in Heath & Reach). There is £2 exit fee per vehicle. An annual parking pass is available for £30 or you can choose the donate and gift aid option for £35. For opening times click here.
Cycle & Horse Rising Permits
Whilst the public has free access along public rights of way such as footpaths and bridleways, some of the areas managed by the Greensand Trust offer additional access for cyclists and horse riders.
Access to these additional routes requires a permit. One of the reasons for this is the need to protect the user and landowner against third-party liability. The rules differ for the various schemes because of the requirements of the particular landowner and the approach to matters such as insurance so please check the individual rules carefully.
